As the bearer of an intact penis, unless they know what they’re doing with a foreskin, lube helps tremendously.

My wife still doesn’t seem to have the knack for it, but there is a whole lot behind that statement I don’t want to get into, but lube helps with handjobs if you’re not utilizing the foreskin correctly, she tends to prefer flavored lube (or coconut oil, thats a whole other matter) for oral, and I’m a bigger gentleman, so I’ve always required lube, outside of any other issues either of us could have for penetration. Thats from the virgin in my high school years, to a serious girlfriend who was always down for a roll in the hay, to a preacher’s daughter who certainly went wild, lol, etc. A few brave ladies have tried the back door, even one who normally enjoyed it, and just… no go. I never thought it was that big…

But yes, from what I’ve heard the taste on the condoms is less than stellar, and breakage is an issue. Long story short, thats how my nephew was conceived or so I’m told. If you’re relying on any sort of condoms from Spencer’s I got bad news for ya…

Plus, lubes can be fun outside of flavors. There are lubes out there for different sensations, like warming, or cooling, there are some that are supposed to help prevent early ejaculation, there are some that are supposed to enhance the ladies enjoyment, a ton of options to play with depending on what your (or your partner’s) needs are.

I’m a gamer, and I do…

Then again, I’m mostly excited about using CUDA cores for cracking hashes and the like, lol.

I rocked long hair from grade school to my mid 20s.

Then, a lady friend (platonic) sat me down and had a talk with me.

The thinning, now seemingly always greasy, strands of hair was not a good look. Like, don’t visit a playground or I would be arrested on site lol.

So, being a metal head there are two main options, or at least were at the time. Long hair. Or take bare clippers to it.

So, I did.

That first winter fucking suuuucked. Still to this day, I tend to rock a hoody in cold weather, and toss my hood up to cover my head for warmth when outdoors.

Sometimes I let it grow out for about a month before taking clippers to it again, out of sheer laziness. A month of growth, from shaved, isn’t much in the way of hair, but temperature wise it is very noticeable.

I do believe the Kinsey scale is a real thing (lived in a red state, so arguments)

I don’t want to do dudes, on a grand scale.

But Ryan Reynolds is handsome, funny, and rich. I’m not sure if I could say no to that, especially if he was a bottom. Not sure I could bottom.

That being said, I was dating a bi girl, who had a friend who recently broke up with her boyfriend. She was working on a threesome, and promised if I kissed her gay friend if dared (truth or dare game) she would make it happen.

So, the dare came, I kissed the dude. It was, to put it bluntly, not my thing. That being said, I hated that dude. I knew him before he came out, and after. He was no longer himself, he was a gay stereotype. He didn’t have a lisp before he came out, so to speak.

Then, as the night was finishing up and we were giving her friend a “ride” her ex showed up. Soured the whole deal.

Oh well. At least I know that I’m firmly on the straight end of the Kinsey scale. Though, Ryan Reynolds… lol

I don’t disagree, but having tried anal with a few women before - even with plenty of prep, I’m too big.

If Rin can take it, I’m gonna knock it off my bucket list, lol.

I use proton pass currently.

My life is changing in less than two weeks.

I have an enterprise grade server that I can’t run for a variety of home reasons.

When me and the wife… for lack of a better term, escape, our situation, I’ll be able to self host. I know its gonna be a struggle, I have things to learn, and that is why I’m so excited.

Oh fuck me, I’m still studying to red team basic computing.

I take it you’ve never had to log into a printer with an AD account before?

Yeah, I went out to 32 characters once. Until I needed to work on a printer.

We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.

Please don’t I barely understand subnetting as it is.

Work has been difficult, mostly due to coworkers lately.

If I’m blaring Rage, like I have all week, I’m ready to walk or to burn the place down. But I’m a lazy man.

Or I mean, Shodan exists. I’m sure the gov has better.

A theoretical botnet I was looking at on github used shodan to identify possible targets to infect.

I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.

I did without for a while, and it wasn’t pretty.

Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.

In my state, with my employer, yes absolutely NSFW.

I don’t agree, just saying what the GOP leaning corpos are making rules of.

Kali is still around, I last did an install ~6 months ago, I think?

That got put on the back burner though, not because of the flipper, just life.

I have one.

Its fun.

But on the subject of rolling codes, I was able to get through a security gate that relies on, essentially, a garage door opener.

The exploit relied on the ridiculously low amount of rolling codes it cycled through.

Capture one, and try it a few times to get through.

Cars are more robust. Despite tinkering with it for about 8 hours, I wasn’t successful with defeating it. That being said, I picked up the device, in part, to start messing around with various signals as an educational tool.

Time enjoyed is not wasted.

Of course, Tik Tok isn’t my jam, so it would be a waste of time for me.

I’ve often wondered how the world would cope without 24 hour IT support.

All I know is I would love to see the chaos unfold, sadly, I think more than a few lives would end as a result so I can’t condone that for all fields.

Me too.

In high school, there was a kid who was always trying to make money. Like even then, he wanted his own business. In fact he had a couple small ones back then.

One of his endeavours was massive LAN parties. He had the capital to rent spaces, hardware, and was even able to get sponsorships.

He did not have the tech chops to do it though.

Myself, and one circle of friends were THE computer nerds of the school, but it wasn’t really seen as a negative for us - then again we did orchestrate a “free day” and got away with it by taking down the schools network from inside and one person had a loud fucking mouth, but we covered our tracks.

Anyways, we got in free to these LAN parties as long as we set up and maintained shit. Surprisingly very few problems, about once a LAN party we had to fix something. And it was useful experience.

That shit was fucking amazing. I loved it.

I got home from work. Wife works from home. She has had an ongoing tech issue I can’t really touch because it’s that companies property. But I just don’t want to hear it. At all. I’m dead inside in that regard.

It’s gotten so bad that I had an issue with my gaming rig.

I needed to reseat the RAM. Not hard, except the case is mounted on the wall as a display piece that would require moving a bunch of shit before getting a ladder and yada yada.

I just didn’t game for three days. Just could not muster the energy to care about that. I hate it.

Bounties are a bit nebulous.

Actual pen testing companies have red teams (attackers) that have a scope of what they are allowed to target, and how they go about it.

For example, just because a red teamer can get into the data center to do stuff locally doesn’t meet the scope requirement of testing their web page externally. They would be prosecuted most likely.

Pen testing companies also have lawyers, at least they should, who help negotiate scope and what is legally allowed and in what context.

Due to the secrecy needed for some tests, the security staff may not be aware a test is in place. From what I understand, generally people have some sort of paperwork on their person, or at least the contact information of someone at the company with the authority to authorize this red team pen test.

That being said, cops may still get called, you may still get arrested, and have to deal with the courts.

Or worse, some trigger happy security guard shoots you.

I’m just studying that stuff though at the moment, so take what I said with a grain of salt.
